This transformation shows students in real time what being a true advocate and ally is. For educators and allies alike, we highlight the profound impact of representation and dialogue in fostering inclusivity.

The podcast explores the challenges and successes of Queer representation in education, addressing issues such as burnout, tokenism, doxing, and the importance of advocacy in creating inclusive classrooms, safe spaces, and anti-bullying strategies, with a focus on supporting non-binary teachers and gender identity in schools to combat the feeling of isolation and lack of community.
